I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six
Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta
Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta
Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krishna and
dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular
both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of
anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are
fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities
meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe.

Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala
Bhatta Gosvami, who are very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the revealed
scriptures with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the
benefit of all human beings. Thus they are honored all over the three worlds and
they are worth taking shelter of because they are absorbed in the mood of the
gopis and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Radha and Krishna.

Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala
Bhatta Gosvami, who are very much enriched in understanding of Lord Caitanya and
who are thus expert in narrating His transcendental qualities. They can purify
all conditioned souls from the reactions of their sinful activities by pouring
upon them transcendental songs about Govinda. As such, they are very expert in
increasing the limits of the ocean of transcendental bliss, and they are the
saviors of the living entities from the devouring mouth of liberation.

Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who kicked off all
association of aristocracy as insignificant. In order to deliver the
poor conditioned souls, they accepted loincloths, treating themselves as
mendicants, but they are always merged in the ecstatic ocean of the
gopis’ love for Krishna and bathe always and repeatedly in the waves
of that ocean.

Bhatta Gosvami, who were always engaged in worshiping Radha-Krishna in the
transcendental land of Vrindavana where there are beautiful trees full of fruits
and flowers which have under their roots all valuable jewels. The Gosvamis are
perfectly competent to bestow upon the living entities the greatest boon of the
goal of life.

Bhatta Gosvami, who were engaged in chanting the holy names of the Lord and
bowing down in a scheduled measurement. In this way they utilized their valuable
lives and in executing these devotional activities they conquered over eating
and sleeping and were always meek and humble enchanted by remembering the
transcendental qualities of the Lord.

Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri
Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who were sometimes on the
bank of the Rädhä-kunda lake or the shores of the Yamuna and sometimes
at Varnsivata. There they appeared just like madmen in the full ecstasy
of love for Krishna, exhibiting different transcendental symptoms in
their bodies, and they were merged in the ecstasy of Krishna
consciousness.

Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami,
and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who were chanting
very loudly everywhere in Vrindavana, shouting, "Queen of Vrindavana, Radharani!
O Lalita! O son of Nanda Maharaja! Where are you all now? Are you just on
the hill of Govardhana, or are you under the trees on the bank of the Yamuna?
Where are you?" These were their moods in executing Krishna
consciousness.
